Miter Crosscutting
Miter cutting is known as cutting wood at
an angle other than 90° with the edge of
the wood. Follow the same procedure as
you would for crosscutting.
• Adjust the miter gauge to the desired
angle, and lock it.
• The miter gauge may be used in
either of the grooves in the table.
Make sure it is locked.
• When using the miter gauge in the left
hand groove, hold the workpiece
firmly against the miter gauge head
with your left hand, and grip the lock
knob with your right hand.
Bevel Crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as cross-
cutting except that the wood is cut at an
angle...other than 90° with the bottom
flat side of the wood.
• Adjust the blade to the desired angle.
• Always use the miter gauge in the
groove to the right of the blade. It
cannot be used in the groove to the
left because the blade guard will
interfere. Hold the workpiece with
your right hand and the lock knob with
your left hand.
Compound Crosscutting
Compound cutting is a combination of
miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The
cut is made at an angle other than 90° to
both the edge and the bottom flat side of
the wood.
• Adjust the miter gauge and the blade
to the desired angle...Make sure miter
gauge is locked.
